Bridge Gravel
Washed, crushed pea gravel — 1/4" and smaller. Engineered for water-perk drainage rather than compaction. Original use case is golf course green construction: it acts as the "bridging" layer between underlying soil base and sand topdressing, letting irrigation water flow through to feed grass roots and drain away within minutes (no wet shoes for the 6 a.m. tee time). Most common contractor use today: shading 3/8" chips covering buried drainage pipes. Sometimes specified as "non-spec 3/8 chips."
